Its a good and hardy machine - been using my company's T40 since early 2002. It still works and its quite reliable (except had to change my HD once in 2004 - due to the klak-klak sound) - but the batt now lasts only 1 hour
They are business machines and not really meant for gaming or much entertainment stuff. Take it as that and you won't be dissapointed. However I did run lucasart's Jedi Knight (1&2) on it sometime back
Got quite hot.... and somehow playing shooter games with the red-rubber pointer takes sometime to get used to.

The main attraction that the Thinkpad has to me is its build since its able to take abuse better than the rest (my previous Dell lat hinge went to pieces - oxidation of the grey plastics due to heat and my personal compaq also suffered damage around the corners).

Since the lack of local Z60T purchase options (and lowered specs) - I might settle for the HP nc6230 for my own purchase. I think its comparable to the Thinkpad T in terms of size and built (magnesium top and lower half) and 3 year warranty.

Read a review somewhere - IBM's are like BMWs (solid premium built machines - even if their specs aren't too exotic), HP's (n-type) are like VW/Volvos (hardy and can get the job done)...

cheers....

Hahaa... I think the ThinkPad Z60m hav the spec enough for gaming... Although gaphic RAM onli 128MB... So... Since all Laptop user hav confident on THinkPad's quality... I will go for it...

Many miracle had happen... I think is... ThinkPad really hav their quality...

X series too small ,dnt knw can tahan a not
R series tak boleh ,as casing more lausy
T series should be the one .
Z series dnt knw yet....

R series casing more lausy? how lousy compared to others?

I Duno... as now lenovo take over ThinkPad... Will IBM still maintain their quality? OR will it become bad? Coz... everyone know la... It's a CHINA PRODUCT... Hahaa... But i think T series is the Miracle... but... if same spec with Z series... too expensive la...

Dnt knw ,so many notebook now days ask China factory to manufacture parts and assembly in their own factory.
But I dnt think will become bad too much as the technicion support and designer everyone has been transfer from IBM to lenovo oso.

Sure I know.. More solid.. But ugly like wat my fren said.. though i personally do not feel so.. I feel classic style for such casing.. haha

As long as they dun loosen the quality control. I don't think the quality goes down. But for Acer and other brands dunno lor..
